How Piyush Goyal manages to handle 4 top ministries

June 04, 2018 13:53

Piyush Goyal is one of the most sought after Union ministers, the reason being that he holds four key portfolios -- railways, coal, finance and corporate affairs.

Which also means that the volume of Union cabinet agenda papers he has to peruse has become too unwieldy.

Recently, after a cabinet meeting, Ram Vilas Paswan commented, "Piyushbhai, you are now dadaji, having top portfolios. Do you get time to sleep or not?"

Soon after the finance ministry was handed over to Piyush Goyal till Arun Jaitley recovers from his surgery, top officials from North Block who went to his chambers were surprised to see the minister seated on a sofa during the meeting and not his official chair.
